When the two output ends 213, 215 are connected to both ends of the sensor 201 and connected to a power supply, the current flowing through the driven electronic element 201 forms the current driving circuit. The current driving circuit includes a current driving path (211, 201, 212). As also shown in FIG. 2, the current driving path (211, 201, 212) comprises a first path segment 211 and a second path segment 212.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a specific circuit configuration of the detection circuit 200 according to the present invention. As the FiG shows. 3, the detection circuit 200 essentially comprises a current driver and a voltage driver. The current driving circuit comprises a current driving path (211, 201, 212) which essentially comprises a first resistor R1, a first path segment 211, a sensor 201, a second path segment 212 and a second path segment. resistor R2 connected in series in FIG. 3.

The voltage drive circuit comprises a voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215) which includes a first end 213, a voltage regulator tube 309 (203 in Fig. 2), a switch device 204 , and a second end 215. The first end 213 and the second end 215 are connected, respectively, to the first path segment 211 and the second path segment 212. The switch device 204 is connected between the voltage regulator tube 309 and the second end 215 in FIG. 3. In fact, the switch device 204 may be connected to any other position of the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215), for example between the first end 213 and the voltage regulator tube 309. , provided that the switch device 204 can control the opening or closing of the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215). The negative electrode of the voltage regulator tube 309 is on the side of the first end 213, and the positive electrode of the sensor regulator tube 309 is on the side of the second end 215. When the voltage drive path (213 , 203, 204, 215) is closed and connected to the first path segment 211 and the second path segment 212, the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215) is a constant voltage drive circuit having a voltage lower (or equal) to 2V.
The switch device 204 is a transistor 311 or a MOS transistor. The drain and source of the transistor 311 are connected to the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215) and the input end, i.e. the gate, of the transistor 311 is connected to a switch control circuit 205. When the switch control circuit 205 outputs a control signal (e.g., a high level control signal) transmitted to the input end of the transistor 311, the drain and the source of the switch device 204 is in a conductive state, and the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215) is then closed and connected to the current drive path (211, 201, 212); conversely, when the switch control circuit 205 emits no output control signal to the input end of the transistor 311, the drain and source of the switch device 204 are in a non-conductive state , and the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215) is then open and therefore can not be connected to the current drive path (211, 201, 212).
The switch control circuit 205 includes a comparator 308 and a temperature sensing circuit 307. The comparator 308 is provided with a first input end 320, a second input end 321, and a second end. output 323. The output end 323 is connected to the input end of the switch device 204 (the transistor 311). The first input end 320 is connected to a stable threshold voltage V0. The second input end 321 is connected to a detection voltage V delivered to the output of the temperature detection circuit 307. The temperature detection circuit 307 comprises a thermistor R7 and a plurality of voltage division resistors R3, R4, R5 . The voltage dividing resistors R3, R4, R5 comprise a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4 which are connected in series, and a fifth resistor R5 connected in series with the thermistor R7. The first input end 320 is connected between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, so as to be connected to the threshold voltage V0 resulting from the voltage division caused by the different resistances of the third resistor R3 and the resistor R3. fourth resistance R4. The second input end 321 is connected between the thermistor R7 and the fifth resistor R5, so as to be connected to the detection voltage V resulting from the voltage division caused by the different resistances of the thermistor R7 and the fifth resistor R5. When the resistance of the thermistor R7 varies, the detection voltage V resulting from the voltage division made by the thermistor R7 and the fifth resistor R5 also varies. When the detection voltage V is greater than the threshold voltage VO, the comparator 308 outputs a high level control signal transmitted to the input end of the transistor 311, so that the drain and the source of the transistor 311 are connected, which means that the switch device 204 is turned on.
The resistance of thermistor R7 varies depending on the ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature decreases, the resistance of the thermistor R7 increases, and vice versa.
In the present invention, the Hall effect sensor 201 is driven in a current drive mode at normal temperature, but when the ambient temperature is too low (below 0 ° C as in Fig. 1), the The output drift of the Hall effect sensor 201 increases, and in this case, it is necessary to switch to a voltage drive mode of the Hall effect sensor 201 so as to reduce drift. The temperature range in which the drift is too large is the thermal drift range of the present invention. According to the present invention, the thermistor R7 is used to detect the thermal drift range of the Hall effect sensor 201 and, when the temperature reaches (or approaches) the thermal drift range, the switch control circuit outputs a control signal, and the drive device 202 operates a switch to operate the voltage drive circuit.
According to the present invention, the threshold voltage V0 is regulated by means of the different resistances of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, and the value of the threshold voltage V0 is determined according to the thermistor R7, the comparator 308 and the Heat drift range of the Hall effect sensor 201. When the thermistor R7 detects that the ambient temperature of the Hall effect sensor 201 reaches the thermal drift range, the resistance of the thermistor R7 increases and, when the detection voltage V increases, passes over the threshold voltage V0, the comparator 308 transmits a control signal transmitted to the transistor 311 to trigger the closing of the voltage drive path (213, 203, 204, 215).
FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating the result of the operation of the detection circuit 200 according to the invention. According to the drift curves shown in FIG. 1, when the ambient temperature is greater than 50 ° C, the drift of an output variable 1c of a Hall effect sensor 201 in current driving mode is small; when the temperature is below 50 ° C, the drift of an output variable Vc of the Hall effect sensor 201 in voltage drive mode is low; and, in particular, when the temperature is below 0 ° C., the drift of the output quantity of the Hall effect sensor 201 in the current drive mode is much greater than the drift of the output variable Vc of the sensor Hall effect 201 in voltage drive mode. Therefore, when the temperature drops to 50 ° C, you must change the drive mode of the Hall sensor and switch to the voltage drive mode.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the temperature is above 50 ° C, the Hall effect sensor 201 is driven by a current driver and the output of the Hall effect sensor 201 is lc (represented by a dashed line) ; and when the temperature is below 50 ° C, a switch is made for the Hall effect sensor 201 to be driven by a voltage driver, and the output of the Hall effect sensor 201 is Vc (shown in FIG. by a solid line). In this way, the Hall effect sensor can always operate with minimal output drift, which improves the operating stability of the sensor.
Switching the drive mode to 50 ° C, as mentioned above, is an ideal embodiment, but in fact the switching of the drive mode is determined by the difference between the output quantities of the pickup sensor. Hall effect 201 in both modes. For example, in FIG. 1, in a temperature range corresponding to 50 ° C plus or minus 10 ° C (i.e., between 40 ° C-60 ° C), the difference between the output quantities of the Hall effect sensor 201 in current drive mode and voltage drive mode is not important, and if this small difference does not prevent the Hall effect sensor 201 from functioning normally, it is not necessary to switch the mode of operation. 'training. The size of the difference is determined according to the needs of a customer.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the construction of a sensor assembly 500 according to the present invention.
